Risky Business

I honestly thought this would be a lackluster ID when it came out but then I started looking at all of the cards that could be used to support it. Let's talk about some of my choices.

AGENDAS Phew. 15 Agendas. You have 3 2/0s and 6 3/1s, I couldn't care less if the runner took any of these agendas from me because it gives you a benefit when stolen (and further ramps up your late game). You really don't ever want to score domestic sleepers because it takes too much time. Hyperloop Extension is an okay one to either be scored via political dealings or have it stolen for tons of free money. Research Grant is an interesting include and I think it has some value. If you're able to install multiple via political dealings with rashida/attitude adjustment then you only need three clicks to score multiple of them (Hi Biotic Labor). Corporate Sales Team because who doesn't love free money and GFI as restricted because you can't afford to run any three pointers.

ASSETS Political Dealings is amazing. You need to protect this with all costs because this is how you get free clicks. Whenever you draw an agenda you can get a free click of installation. You have many cards to help with this: Rashida, Attitude Adjustment, your ID, NEXT Sapphire, etc. You want to use these for the 3/1s you actually want to score. But won't they just trash it? Yes, they very well could. However, we have recursion through NEXT Sapphire and Giordano Memorial Field to make it very expensive if they want to go down that path.

UPGRADE Giordano is a pretty cool card that gets stronger and stronger as the game goes on. I'm debating whether I need all three because it is unique, but it's also vital for protecting Political Dealings.

OPERATIONS Standard econ cards + Fast advance tools + Agenda flood help. Use Biotic Labor early on to help score and Game Changer for the late game. Game Changer only becomes better than Biotic Labor once the runner has 3+ agendas in their score area. Attitude Adjustment is great for two reasons - you can draw cards which combos with Political Dealings and you can get rid of those nasty Corporate Sales Teams and GFIs that you aren't ready to score just yet - AND you get money for doing it!

ICE Ice in this deck is pretty weird. It serves a lot of purposes like recursion (NEXT Sapphire), Free clicks (Architect), and giving the Runner fake agendas (Meridian). I'd love to include Gatekeeper in here but I feel like I need to also include divert power if I want to use it effectively. Excalibur is also here to put either on the Political Dealings remote or R & D. I think R & D is the right spot for it, hopefully on the outer layer, so if the runner triggers excalibur, and then another ice like architect or NEXT sapphire while Political Dealings is up, you can draw, reveal, and install agendas that they cannot run on.

This kinda feels like jank to the max but may also have some merit. I've yet to test it yet but I'd love to hear other's thoughts!

Edit: Wow I completely forgot about Project Vitruvius while making this. That's probably a better add over Corporate Sales Team.
